>We reviewed the Tabulation logs in their entirety for 11/6/2020. The election logs for Antrim County consist of 15,676 total lines or events. Of the 15,676 there were a total of 10,667 critical errors/warnings or a 68.05% error rate.

>The allowable election error rate established by the Federal Election Commission guidelines is of 1 in 250,000 ballots (.0008%). We observed an error rate of 68.05%. This demonstrated a significant and fatal error in security and election integrity.

The first one sounds like they're looking at warning logs the program outputs. Those could be startup logs completely unrelated to ballots. The percent of your program's log lines that are warning logs cannot be in any way compared to the Federal Election Commission guidelines on how often a ballot can be miscounted.

This is how I use all things, to be honest. It’s also worthwhile using this to evaluate statements like “Linux has great Wi-Fi, I don’t, know what you’re talking about” or “code signing is easy, you just read the error and it tells you the thing you needed to do”. Once you’ve become invested a thing, it can be hard to verbalize all the issues you ran into before and unknowingly work around, but when you use something new of course it’s “completely broken”.

The fact that life is right-hand twist DNA probably means left-hand was unsuccessful due to chemistry either in itself or in the environment, because an inversion of a molecule (chirality, twist, etc) means it will behave completely differently chemically. So left-hand twist can exist, but not necessarily in a way that can build life...even if it's able to initially replicate.

The prometheus scaling problem is a real one. It stems from the "scrape everything" mantra that everyone in prometheus community follows, we should be rather opting-in on which metrics are useful and drop everything by default. We need to go the distributed-tracing way, have smart agents near your metric source when gets everything locally and then decides what metrics are useful and finally ship them off for storage. We are kinda halfway there with OpenTelemetry but the adoption hasn't started yet. Very curious to see how you guys managed it.

Excellent summary. Thank you for this.

One thing I forgot to mention is that when I started, I didn’t even have actual blurriness for the most part (unless it’s really far away). I had double vision along the vertical axis, and I did what Becker recommended to do which is to try to focus on the actual object (in my case mostly text), and ignore the ghosted copy so that two of them can converge. I would then intentionally defocus by looking in front or behind the text, and then try to refocus again. It keeps it slightly interesting/amusing.

There’s way more stuff out there on this topic today then there was when I first started practicing it, but it doesn’t seem to have changed all that much. People are still very skeptical about it and I guess optometrists still don’t talk about it.

I worked along side physicians for several years. I'm still in healthcare but more corporate. I have interacted with physicians as a clinician, business partner, and patient. They love to learn that's no doubt. But the OP content was about changing their prescription protocols based on some hacked together ML that has no traditional clout. That was never going to fly; not without some [insert specialty] doctor's endorsement or some medical journal nods.

When it comes to the business of healthcare, doctors are generally open to things that will make their jobs easier (they are money motivated creatures too). But, they don't necessarily like learning new things themselves. As a whole, they are rather resistant to change. It took a long time to incorporate any technology bedside (e-charts, etc).

As a patient, I/family has been referred to other doctors specifically because they were younger or knew their education differed in a meaningful way. The old guy knew his ways were outdated and we would benefit from the new ways. So he was aware of the new way, but wasn't practicing it.

No one I knew could provide a bed. I lived in my car. I was eventually able to trade remodel work for a chance to stay in the house.

As of today, some ads pay per click (CPC), but most ad spots pay per 1000 views (CPM). Ads can influence behavior after they are viewed, regardless of whether the user decides to interact with the ad. I'm sure Google has put tons of effort into trying to tie ad views to purchases, both online and offline (I bet GMail and Google Pay are leveraged for this).

I am not claiming this is good or bad, but clicks are not a good enough signal of efficacy for the vast majority of ads shown on the internet.

The movement that led to the Capitol riot was a misguided but fundamentally patriotic belief that there needs to be more of a focus on ensuring free and fair elections. You can disagree that a protest was needed and you can impugn the motivations of the organisers, but that is what the bulk of the protesters thought they were protesting.

A government installed by the people is a principle that compares on similar footing to equality.
>Both of those represent a choice to consume less

There's something wrong with this idea, that spending more on consumption means consuming less.

When you spend $20K extra on your Tesla, doesn't it enable that much extra consumption by their employees, stockholders, etc., which in turn has an average carbon intensity or other environmental impact that is roughly in line with anyone in their society?

Like, the electric car is green, but the money pays for salary which buys a ham sandwich, which pays for a hog farm, which pays for a diesel tractor, and so on. The green-ness of the first transaction seems to me a fig leaf to avoid the truth that every dollar of consumption has about the same environmental impact in the long run.

If the Tesla were not a lot more expensive, then it would be significant that it was green. But people use the concept of externalities as if they were always an infinitely flexible amount and I think it's self-deception.

You just can't do what's right for the environment or social justice via conspicuous consumption, and yet virtually nobody endorses that ethic, because then what are you? You're Scrooge. It's simple, and impossible for normal human beings to accept. You consume, you take away from the poor, and you pollute the environment.
Going through the ROM code of 8 bit machines from 1980s would still be a tedious exercise. Much of the programming effort was spend on dealing with the limitations of the hardware, rather than on accomplishing anything particularly interesting conceptually.

> Does it matter how they died if the outcome is the same,

That is like saying oranges and apples are the same because they are fruits.

It matters how they died because the car victims died due human error not because the car was defective, the plane victims died because of the plane itself was defective.

If the planes were not ground many more people who have died and people on ground if the plane fell on them.

Chip fabs are one of the most capital-intensive and brainpower-intensive industries that there are. At the same time it is motivated by tight margins.

Here's a more realistic guide with none of the hippie seasteading false optimism:

Step 1) Acquire a large standing army, logistics, and lots of rockets and big radars (the bigger the better, stealth planes are very tricky to detect without massive antennas).
Step 2) Nuclear weapons, ICBMs, and stealthy submarines.
Step 3) Sufficient infrastructure to support autarchy and the above two steps.

In the current age, without the patronage of a larger state, starting a country ex nihilo with the expectation that it will remain sovereign is not possible (surprisingly you don't hear from Thiel's pet think tanks about the sovereignty problem when it comes to building a country in the middle of the sea, you would think the founder of Palantir should have some creative solutions).

Modern assymetric war doctrine relies on air superiority. Deny other countries the skies and you will be free. You don't really need a conventional navy if you don't plan to project force. Countries like Iran use a large fleet of small boats armed with rockets to counter bigger navies (and more importantly, carriers. Their boat swarm strategy however is untested outside of simulations). A country is built on legitimate violence. At the end of the day, the nuclear triad is the only and ultimate guarantee of true territorial sovereignty. Legitimacy will come naturally when sovereignty becomes absolute.

Sovereignty in political science and international relations lie on a spectrum. Countries like Cuba have quite limited sovereignty[0]. A fully nuclear armed seasteading state may never achieve economic sovereignty due to sanctions by incumbents, but it will definitely have full perpetual control of its territories and in the current multipolar world, there are plenty of opportunities to increase economic sovereignty.

To the bashrc. I find the dumb "just complete a f@#$$# filename" completion to be at least predictable, even if it means i need to memorize a few more arguments to some programs.

So for me both of those work as expected if I'm on my bashrc...

Depends what you're doing. For Python using something like virtualenv and pyenv feels like enough.

For javascript based projects I also feel that nodejs contains its dependencies pretty well for local dev.

Golang works well multi platform and with go modules the dependencies are in the go.mod file

Dunno, if you're sharing across unix systems, and depending on what you're doing, you don't need much.

For external services like databases, caches and etc. a docker-compose file is usually enough..
You are badly misunderstanding the situation. A world with 3 TV networks is a world of limited airtime, so of course people will not give their slots up freely for others. That is not the world we are in now. It costs no "space" to let messages of any kind go through your platform. It costs (nearly) no bandwidth. It is generally profitable. The only reason messages are being restricted is because those who control the platform don't like them. A TV network wouldn't give airtime to any old wacko because it was a limited resource. Signal choosing not to give use of their platform to somebody they don't like is categorically different.

>envelopes disposed of

Are envelopes generally involved? In the Antrim County dispute[1] it sounds like they use Image Cast Precinct (ICP) tabulators[2][3]. This[4] appears to be a video of one in use[5], and it doesn't seem to involve an envelope. If there's 100% mail-in voting then yes every ballot would have an envelope. But if there's any less than 100% then there will be less envelopes than ballots, so I'm not sure envelopes would be too useful for recounts.

The interesting question is, how can they prevent abuse?

1. Spoofed names to perpetrated scams.

2. Groups promoting evil (however it's defined).

IIRC by default ny contact must be whitelisted, which helps a bit with scams. But if people get a contact request by their bank or employer, what will they do?

For the latter, Signal could incorporate messages in their app that undermines that behavior - for example, promoting tolerance, providing resources for people to report criminal activity, providing encouragement and resources for people to escape cult-like behavior, etc. I wonder how effective that would be.

I agree that everyone, even security researchers, will make mistakes. But there are people who survive with state-level actors in their threat model.

Unfortunately, our political and social climate is incapable of having an honest discussion of the topic, although not for the reasons proposed in the article.

there's also a couple of sources and differences: the main one commonly quoted is the ABS source, derived from the census taken every 5 years, and with specific practices implemented to try to accurately enumerate homeless populations. thankfully there doesn't seem to be enough variance for the relative infrequency to be an issue, but the other quirk is that census is done in winter, and contrary to some popular impressions, homeless populations can be highly mobile and show seasonal effects.

Another source include homeless service provisions, but last time I looked at those they didn't always tend to be on a individual natural person basis.

lastly, homeless service provision, with a few caveats, is one of the only things that might locally and empirically show behaviours of what economists call a "giffen good". And, somewhat paradoxically, provision of homeless services can, to a point, increase the percieved systemic demand for homeless services. increased supply can also create more (real and percieved) demand. the relationship these complexities have with trying to measure homelessness is tricky to say the least...
